I like the simplicity of a revolver. For me, semi autos win out in the full size and very small niches. If I am packing a full size gun for defensive purposes, it will be a bottom feeder. If I need to hide away a gun chambered in center fired caliber, it will be a pocket .380.
However, day to day. I am perfectly happy with my LCR sporting a boot grip on my hip. I don't even pocket carry or try to carry IWB. I like how forgettable the light revolver is.
It's of the 9mm variety, which I know is of some dispute (why not a small auto? Why not a more potent caliber? What if your gun locks up due to crimp jump?). All of that aside, the little LCR has proven to be more accurate and more reliable than other guns of purported legacy (I've had a Glock 26 fail to feed bulk budget ammo before. I had two light strikes of 2 different manufacturers ammo with my 642).
5 for sure with a fairly speedy reload seems to be fine for day to day carry.
